[comp.sys.hp] HP Tape Drives where are you?

I wonder if HP has any plans of supplying a larger than 40 meg tape drive for
the Vectra RS products. It makes it tougher for me as a VAR to sell the HP
package when I have to put in a third party 150 meg tape drive.  And then
there's the question of support contracts.  I don't care to support third
party hardware when HP has a service center in the area.

Does it make any sense to backup 155 or 310 megabyte disks running SCO Xenix
or unix with a 40 meg tape drive?  Wake up HP!!!
